The FBI explicitly requested a firmware image that is bound to a specific device (by checking a unique ID -- read the court order please). That signed image would not be usable on other devices without going through Apple again.

- ptaipale 11y ago> How would Apple be able to say yes in this case, but no in the next case? Well, because an actual judge would be required to make such a decision, and in each case, the merits would be assessed separately. So Apple could say no, and a judge might agree with them "right, the government has no grounds here". (IANAL, and IANEAA - I am not even an American).
